COLOR THEMEWhat colors do you use on your letterhead and brochures? What colors would you like to see on your website? Please send us a sample, if available.

SHORT DESCRIPTIONThis will take some thought. You want to make it less than 20 words. The first 7-8 words should get your main point across, the rest can elaborate. This is what people see in Search Engine results (some display more than others).

KEYWORDSWhat words or phrases will people enter into a search engine that you want to be found under? If you could be in the Yellow Pages under every relevant category, what would they be? Place them in order of importance. We will take your words, and use our knowledge of the Internet in setting up your website in an optimal way.

OK, THAT COVERS THE BASICS. NOW ... ON TO THE WEBSITE ITSELF.

FIRST STEPMake up a welcome or introductory paragraph. This should be a little "warm & fuzzy," reflecting your desire to serve and your pride in your business. IT can be accompanied by a picture of the owner, the top personnel, or the place of business. I like this because it cuts into the coldness of the electronic media, but it should be short. If you are not comfortable with this, it's OK.

Do: WELCOMING PARAGRAPH:

SECOND STEPMake a LIST of every product line, then make a LIST of every service. Rearrange them into the order of their importance to your business.
Keep in mind that most of your current customers are only aware of a small portion of what you offer, and prospects know nothing - here is where they can find out "everything" about your business!

Do: PRODUCT LIST (with descriptions after you make the list)

Do: SERVICES LIST(with descriptions after you make the list)

THIRD STEPGo back and elaborate on each product line and service.

WEBPAGE: Here is where you are limited to a maximum of 400 words. A webpage is designed to provide basic information. It is similar to an elaborate advertisement. It is found by the Search Engines just like any domain. We usually write it to emphasize location, where your domain would emphasize product or service. By linking it to your website, you have a second way for people to find you. Plus, it's in Brevard County's most popular general interest Internet Directory!

WEBSITES & DOMAINS: There are no limits as to what can be put here (except budget). Anything you have seen on the web, we can probably produce, or get produced, for you. Be sure you discuss with us what is involved.
Depending on your type of business, you may want a separate webpage for each product, product line, or service. Some other webpages to consider: Price Lists, Frequently Asked Questions, How To Do It, Diagrams, Maps, Reply Forms, Request Forms, eCommerce, Dealer Lists, Past Project Descriptions.
Please use a separate page for each webpage that you need.

GRAPHICSYou will want to provide a crisp copy of your logo and/or your stylized letterhead. We can develop one if you don't have one.
"A picture speaks a thousand words." Let photos speak for you. We can take a photograph and crop it, and, in some cases, enhance it. If you have a digital camera, please provide us with a 300dpi image. It ends up on the Internet at 72dpi, but, unless you are really good at it, let us prepare the image.
We can use a graphic or "clip art" that you provide, or we can find or produce it.
Logos and graphics can often be taken from a parent company's or supplier's website, when it doesn't violate copyright laws.
If there is a graphical layout for a website that you have seen, let us know and we will try to make a similar look for your website.

LINKS TO OTHER SITES & eMAIL ADDRESSESThere is no extra cost for this. Please provide clear URL's and eMail addresses.
This is one of the most valuable assets of a single webpage on the NBBD. It provides a second, targeted pathway to your existing Domain.
You may want to link to your supplier to provide your customer with more detailed information. BUT ... Check their site carefully. Some websites may lead your customer to another dealer.
